In setting up and testing sites, I can set localhost as the Host Name for any site and readily access that site while working on the server itself.
That only works for one site at a time though, and requires that I change it in order to test another site. It would be very convenient to have a local access for each site saved and available at any time.
Is there anything I can add to localhost in order to make it an alternate access to any of the sites on the server?
I don't know what OS you are using. But if it's windows, you can use the windows hosts file to bypass normal DNS and point the URL's you wish to localhost.
You can then just use the normal hostnames in Abyss and setup your hosts file like:
127.0.0.1 domain1.com
127.0.0.1 domain2.com
127.0.0.1 sub.donain2.com
For Windows you can find an explanation here:

You will need the X2 version of Abyss to host multiple sites though.
